Old Souls Quotes

“The Empath is often said to have such a great degree of empathy that they can literally feel what others feel, and thus intuitively know many of the yearnings, sensitivities, tastes and even thought patterns of the people they're around.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“The Old Soul is more inclined to be a lifelong learner, constantly feeding his thirst for insight through his own persistent efforts. His learning has not been forced into him through education or learned out of obligation, but has been absorbed out of curiosity and personal choice.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“Most people think Marv is crazy, but I don't believe that.
I'm no shrink and I'm not saying I've got Marv all figured out or anything, but "crazy" just doesn't explain him. Not to me. Sometimes I think he's retarded, a big, brutal kid who never learned the ground rules about how people are supposed to act around each other. But that doesn't have the right ring to it either. No, it's more like there's nothing wrong with Marv, nothing at all--except that he had the rotten luck of being born at the wrong time in history. He'd have been okay if he'd been born a couple of thousand years ago. He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield, swinging an ax into somebody's face. Or in a roman arena, taking a sword to other gladiators like him.
They'd have tossed him girls like Nancy, back then.”
― Frank Miller, Sin City, Vol. 2: A Dame to Kill For

― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“Innately, the Old Soul carries a sense of world-wariness as he stands on the outside, looking in. As an observer, the Old Soul like the Steppenwolf, feels an all-pervading sense of alienation. He is the ultimate Outsider who is both in the world, but not quite of the world at the same time.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“Respectable and elite careers are of no interest to the Old Soul who is much too tired to join in with the “my house is bigger than your house” games of society. If the Old Soul has to work, any job will usually do. It's very uncommon to find Old Souls in prestigious careers, unless they have some higher purpose at play behind the scenes.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“It's not uncommon for the Old Soul to experience some measure of depression, apathy or existential lethargy when it comes to living everyday life. After all, if physical existence loses its star-spangled gleam, and everyday affairs lose their burning importance, what is the point of living a dull life?”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“Amongst some of the Old Soul's greatest achievements in life include the ability to live with inner peace, even amid the troubles of life. As all is passing, the Old Soul understands the importance of non-attachment to physical and immaterial things.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“[Adult children of a BPD parent] may seem old before their time or like an old soul (and probably were that way as children too.) They may easily assume the role of fixer and nurturer. They're the ones friends lean on, the ones to whom people tell their problems. Helping others gives them a sense of purpose and worth.”
― Kimberlee Roth, Surviving a Borderline Parent: How to Heal Your Childhood Wounds and Build Trust, Boundaries, and Self-Esteem

the otherworld where our old souls
will meet again for the very first time
where our imagination takes flight
and magic isn't a fairytale”

― Aletheia Luna, Awakened Empath: The Ultimate Guide to Emotional, Psychological and Spiritual Healing

“A more common explanation for the feeling of being Old in Soul is tied up in Buddhist and Hindu ideas of reincarnation, or metempsychosis. Interestingly, this is most likely where the origin of the phrase “Old Soul” came from in the first place.”
― Aletheia Luna, Old Souls: The Sages and Mystics of Our World

“You know, it's funny: there are never any middle-aged souls. You hear about people being young souls, you really hear about old souls, but what about middle-aged souls?”
― Richard Ayoade, Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey

“those who have found each other once
will find each other again and yet again”
― Dahi Tamara Koch, Within the event horizon: poetry & prose

“She was a very old soul, which meant that her life was driven by love and not ego.”
― Sonia Choquette, The Psychic Pathway: A Workbook for Reawakening the Voice of Your Soul

“A szépsége még mindig ugyanúgy lenyűgözte Kait, mint fiúkorában, bár nem a ruhái élénk színe, és ne is gyönyörű finoman metszett arca ejtette rabul a szívét, olyan szerelmet ébresztve benne, amely aztán évekig életben tartotta őt - hanem az, amit azonnal meglátott a szemében, amikor először találkozott a tekintetük: hogy egy öreg lélek felismer egy másikat.”
― Joan D. Vinge, 47 Ronin

― Pratik Mishra, A Thousand Places

“It felt as if Jay would always be the one who had made it to the sand and Hud would be the one thrown off the wave. But even before 10 years old, Hud was managing this, redirecting his interests.
‘Nice one!’ Hud said, giving Jay a thumbs-up. This was some thing Hud took pride in, his lack of ego, his ability to appreciate the success of others, even when he had failed. His mother called it ‘good character’.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Malibu Rising

“...a good soldier should ride into Paradise bearing the soul of the woman he loved.”
― Warwick Deeping, Uther and Igraine

“Marjorie was only thirty-seven, but she felt older than her peers; some of them would say she felt better than them, too. But that wasn't true. If anything, she felt inferior for all the many ways she failed at keeping herself unspotted from the world.”
― Nafissa Thompson-Spires, Heads of the Colored People

“She touches down at the foot of the yellow house, her heart heavy and unsettled with everything she knows but doesn't disclose. Sometimes it feels to her as though she has lived a thousand years and seen the whole of what there is to see, that she holds all secrets, all fables, all magic formulae of the world.”
― Catherine Leroux, The Future
